The Borrowed Face. Top Story - August 2025.
Elisabetta was woken by shivers that ran up and down her spine. She found herself lying on the dew covered, lush grass. Her head was pulsing with pain. She must have hit it — why else would she hear music shimmering like bells? She was still in the forest.

The Storm That Never Came
We arrived at the lake of Châtrices after half a day’s hike. I let my backpack fall onto the picnic table with a thud. It felt so heavy like I was carrying rocks all day. I kicked off my shoes, and wiggled my toes until life returned into them.

#4
young blood, baby fat we're all dead in the inside lost in solitude ~~~ This haiku is one of the few surviving ones I wrote when I first started to write poetry. (The others got lost on floppy disks and notebooks my mum threw out.) I used to give them numbers as titles, this was the 4th I've ever written.

The Summer That Never Ended. Runner-Up in The Summer That Wasn’t Challenge.
Dear Reader, let me tell you a story that changed my fate— and with it, the life of my whole family. A story that I haven't told to anyone in nearly 60 years. A story I stopped telling because nobody believed me.

The First Cut Is The Deepest. Top Story - July 2025.
The first cut is the deepest, or so sang Cat Stevens. For me, this song always carried a different meaning. Every year, when the tree planting season begins and I cut the first hole with my shovel for my first tree, I hum this song.
